Toys vs. Merchandise

I just took a stroll down the merchandise and toy pages, and all I can say is that I'm very confused. Could someone post a list of all the merchandise pages, because the link on the main page doesn't seem to connect them all together like the games link does. Maybe we could figure out a new organisation for these articles? Stumpers! 19:53, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Do you mean the list pages for Merchandise should be combined into one, like Games, and of a uniform way, not varied? Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 22:32, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
Well, as long as there's some organisation to them, I'm fine. But, it would be nice if we could get a long list like the games section. But, then again, it might be obsessive. We could also just have a page with links to the 3+ pages there are. Give me a little while. I'll see what I can't do to help them out. Stumpers! 15:21, 21 June 2007 (EDT)
I think a template would work better than a whole page linking too only three pages.Knife (talk) 15:29, 21 June 2007 (EDT)
We need only links to the galleries. 3dhammer.gif 3D, the way they are now... AAAAAH! 3dhammer.gif
The template sounds good. I'll let you know how my work turns out. I may be able to figure something better out. But templates pwn n00bs, as usual. ;D Stumpers! 15:59, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Big Eight

I hate to repost this, but it was archived the day after it was posted, so we didn't get to discuss it at all. Don't blame me. ;)

Recently, a discussion has arrisen in regards to the future of the Big Eight page. Several users, including myself, see an issue with the amount of fanon in the category. Please view the talk page for individual ideas. Main concerns include the lack of any such category in the Marioverse and the level of favoritism involved in choosing characters. Another idea is that the Big Eight page would do better under the title MarioWiki:Big Eight as it is more of a guide for writers on the Wiki than an actual Mario element. Please post ideas for change or support for the page as is! Thank you! Stumpers! 13:52, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

Big Eight in, other related characters out. Just remove all of the closely related characters and keep the Big Eight in.Knife (talk) 21:37, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, the closely related characters section was causing the most trouble... closely followed by the addition of Toad. My personal view is that it should be more of a guideline rather than a real article. I mean, the concept of these characters being the major players in the Mario series is definately there, it's just that character lists are never concrete from game to game. (except that Mario's always playable in the Mario series and so on :D) Regardless, here's my breakdown.

  • Mario: In because he has his own series
  • Luigi: In because of Mario & Luigi, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Bros. 2
  • Peach: In because of Super Princess Peach and her major role
  • Yoshi: In because Yoshies as a species have their own series and he is the "main" yoshi
  • Toad: Possibly in b/c of Wario's Woods and SMB2, but could be removed.
  • Wario: In because he has his own series
  • DK: In because he has his own series
  • Bowser: Main villain

So, really, the only change I could see making would be to remove Toad, but that doesn't seem fair since he is so... prevalent. And just darn cuuuuute! Stumpers! 00:06, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

Petey is about as prevalent as Toad nowadays. Plumber

Yeah, Toad being cute is a very good reason to keep him in :P. I'm now kinda indifferent on the matter (although I did create the Big Eight page, ironically). But if we make this a guideline, we'll have to make the other pages guidelines. Let us have a vote.

Keep the Big Eight, Marioverse, and Other Verses as Articles

Make the Big Eight, Marioverse, and Other Verses into Writer Guidelines

"Main Page" Tab

Why doesn't the tab say "main page" anymore? --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 22:28, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Fixed. The extra codes I installed messed it up, so I removed them. :/ Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 22:52, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Hey. :P Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 01:59, 22 June 2007 (EDT), I'll try to make sure they'll work globally first next time.
